Except that again this requires that Scripture be **interpreted** rather
than taken at face value like you demand of TEs. Since you violate your own
rule, let me then state that one acceptable interpretation of Genesis 1 is
that, since the Hebrew word for "day" can also mean an age or epoch,
references to "evening" and "morning" are simply poetic descriptions of the
end of a previous age and the beginning of the next.

Thus, just as it is possible for you to explain away a false value for pi,
TEs can accept the truth of Scripture without rejecting evolution.
